MLS:  Fair & Balanced?

When the season started, there was a lot of talk about how this season would provide the first ‘balanced’ schedule and the closest we’ll get to a true Supporters Shield winner. Champions of the ‘we need to be like Europe’ philosophy jumped all over this opportunity.

A Tail of Two Teams

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.

It’s been a day now since I heard about Yallop’s departure from the HDC. I still think it’s a mistake to let him go. Now, I’m afraid the AEG brain trust will make an even bigger mistake. Seriously, Queiroz did an awful job with the Metros. Why would he do any better in LA? Am I missing something here? Personally, I’m on a one-man crusade to see Cienfuego at the helm. I’m not even sure “Cien” would be interested, but who else is there that is …

I recently lived in Colorado Springs for a year. One of the most frustrating things about living in “The Springs” was that the local paper had next to zero MLS coverage. Yeah, they’d have the occasional AP article about the Rapids (only an hour drive away) when they were at home. That was pretty much it. So, I was amused to read this in the Gazette.
OK, they did have a reporter at most of the local PDL teams home games and they did have someone cover …

I always said including Herc in the deal to get Cannon would come back to haunt us Galaxy fans.

The stadium looked good. Undersoil heating? That’s not exactly a new concept. They’ve used it in England (and probably other places in Europe) for years. I enjoyed the game…but about 5 minutes after Kickoff, I had to mute the TV because, 1) my son was taking a nap and I didn’t want him to wake and 2) I just could not stand listening to the drivel O’Brien and Foudy were spouting. Any chance they could just forget about commentators and leave us with just the …

Yallop has made a move that I’m not sure I understand. LA traded fan favorites Herc Gomez and Ugo Ihemelu for Joe Cannon. There was also the trade of draft picks, but I’d put a beer or 3 on neither of the picks playing more than a handful of MLS matches ever.
Of course, Cannon said all the right things…
“I am overwhelmed and very excited to play for one of the best franchises, maybe the best franchise in the league,” said Cannon. “It is an incredible opportunity and I just …

The PA played that tune by the 80’s Bay Area Wimp Rockers at Half-time of the match Saturday night in San Jose, but it could have been more for the visitors than the home side. The Journey tune seemed to spur on the Galaxy more than the Quakes. Ya gotta love it.
Ok, I know the Smurfans will come back with comments similar to Dominic Kinnear’s

“One team wanted to play tonight, and the other team wanted to get out of here with a result,” Kinnear said Saturday night at Spartan Stadium …
